Bricks & Sticks for Quarantine!

On March 9th, we were in Casarabonela, Spain packing for a family trip to Paris, France. The corona virus updates were elevated so we cancelled the trip immediately and headed back to the United States.  In route to the states our president spoke about closing the borders. Thankfully, we left just in time because our cheap seats were now costing $3,000 to $20,000 to those who left Europe after we did!

The Malaga airport was empty at this point because of the virus outbreaks. The Miami airport was just as empty. It only took us 7 minutes to get through customs instead of the usual 2 hours. We slept our jet lag away in one of our favorite Miami hotels. The hotel has a tasty restaurant on the property so we slept and ate for 3 days and 2 nights. It makes life easier after such a long flight across the pond.

We picked up our camper and camped near Lake Okeechobee for a 14 day quarantine. Just to be sure we did not pick up anything on our travels. After our quarantine we drove to Lake Placid for lunch with one of my dearest friends. She told us about a home that might be available for rent in the area. Within a week we were in a lovely 3 bedroom home on the lake. It was the perfect place to ride out this pandemic. Plus we had loads of room for grandgirls to visit. They loved having their own space. We had a wonderful three month stay and absolutely love that area of Florida.
